Just had a half hour interview with Bill Valenta. Normal questions as mentioned by others. No curve balls or case study for me. He said they would give a decision in 1-2 weeks. But ashsetlur says december. I dont know if that is good or bad. Anyways, all the best to all!

Received a reject for the MBA program. I've been advised that my profile suits the MS in MIS program much better and have been asked to consider it.

All the best to the other applicants!

Hey Guys,

I submitted my application 10 days back. My recommendees are yet to give their LOR and yet I received a reject today. I am confused if they even process the application before they get all the information. Can any of you help me with this?

This is generally not the case.
Why don't you send an email to the Adcom?

I applied at second round on 12/1, got an interview on 12/5, and received the admission with scholarship on 12/7... they were indeed quick on processing this.

Absolutely thrilled to see the result :-D :-D :-D

I have been admitted to Katz MBA but the scholarship amount offered is very less. Is there any possibility that school will increase the scholarship amount?

Hi kkpddtopg,
When did you interview with them?
When did you receive the acceptance email?

Can you please share your GMAT score and profile if possible?

Reach out to the admission team, presenting a case why you should be awarded more.
It happens on a few occasions.

Hi varunajmani2110
Thank you for posting the review.

In your review you did not comment anything on the recruiting/career opportunities provided by school.
Can you shed some light on the carrier opportunities at Katz for international Students.
How active is the Carrier management cell in organising the recruiting events and attracting the Employers?

I am planning to apply to Katz next year and hence the query.


Regards
Stone Cold

There are more on-campus recruiting opportunities for domestic students than for international students. Certain companies do come on campus for Operations and Marketing, but the number decreased this year. The major reason, and it probably applies to schools across the country, is that a lot of companies have stopped sponsoring visa, or are taking a pause because of recent elections. We expect things to be better in 2017.
Career management plays a key role in inviting companies for networking sessions; then, the ball moves in your court of how well you can present and leverage that connection.
